[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Generally speaking, when you hear allergies, you will think of nose, skin or food, but in fact, you may also be allergic to sound.

Chinese medicine practitioners point out that hyperacusis often causes overreaction to external sounds, and sometimes it is accompanied by symptoms such as tinnitus, earache, irritability, and heart palpitations.

Causes include long-term exposure to high-decibel noise, long-term sleep disturbances, head trauma, mental stress, and inner ear trauma or chronic ear infections.

Liufutang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic pointed out in a Facebook fan post that hyperacusis refers to the phenomenon that the inner ear nerves are less receptive to external sound volume stimuli. Symptoms such as pain, irritability, and palpitations can even affect daily life and psychology in severe cases.
